Hoping for a break in the weather so I can get out with my new camera and wide angle lens.

Beating out the likes of LA, Tokyo, Chicago, and Christchurch is some feat, they are all bloody expensive to do anything in, much less build.

Lost the link.

Another good skyline picture.

True.

And yet money is still pouring into the city to develop more buildings.

Nearly £700mill just for the Coop Live Arena and North stand expansion.

Happy for the expansion but much of the other in flooding of investment is primarily speculation. Hope Manchester weathers the global economic downturn better than other areas.

I’ve been really disappointed with the quality of the look of it all. I don’t think it is up to the standards of what I think is the best run sports club in the world or up to the standards of other things the Sheikh/Abu Dhabi have put their hands/money to.

The interior of the stadium looks good, the expanded tier and what that’ll look like when inside the stadium. But I just don’t really like much about the exterior stuff at all.

Having said similar myself, I Can see what they were trying to do. And the idea itself is imo not a bad one at all. Don't think it would take much to make a substantial difference. There is time yet and a long way to go, once approved. But as a public we can only comment on the images as they are.

Over 10,000m2 of our A1 EWI clay brickslip system is being installed within offset panels to the full height of this fantastic scheme that’s looking brilliant with our traditional Manchester Smooth Red slips.
